We expect everyone in our community - staff and students - to model these values in our day-to-day activities, in class, in tutorials and beyond the college. If you are to benefit from the Sixth Form, you must be prepared to meet academic challenges. You will become increasingly responsible for your own learning as you develop as an effective independent learner. You will need to create a partnership with your teachers to achieve the best outcomes. We aim to increase your flexibility and independence as you move through the Sixth Form. You will need to use the greater freedom that you will be given in an industrious and worthwhile manner, taking advantage of the opportunity to develop your leadership and teambuilding. We hope you are ready to meet the challenge. Attendance, academic progress, behaviour, conduct and attitude are all closely monitored to ensure that you are maximising your potential. <strong>College</strong> rules are designed with the intention of treating you as adults and expecting an adult response from you. Working relationships between sixth formers and staff are usually different from those experienced in Years 7 – 11. Students should be reminded that they have a responsibility to talk to teachers if work is going to be late or if lessons are going to be missed. If work is below the standard that a student is capable of then the teacher may ask for it to be re-submitted.
